Season’s Greetings!
November’s wind storm cancelled our PTA meeting and chorus performance. I am currently working on rescheduling the chorus foran upcoming meeting. Another very important piece of business was missed at this meeting, voting in our nominating committee. Please consider getting involved either by participating in the committee or volunteering for the board next year. PTA is run entirely by volunteers. Please contact me if you want more information about the nominating committee or the board positionsthat will be open.
Well with December here it’s hustle and bustle time. I love December because it is a great time to celebrate with family and friends. I am looking forward to spending lots of time with my family experiencing the holidays together. I also try and take this time to reinforce kindness with my children and the spirit of giving. We were just talking last night about how kindness and giving can beas simple as a friendly smile or holding the door for someone. I hope whatever holiday you celebrate, you experience joy, kindness and laughter with the ones you love. I wish you all a Happy Holidays and hope you can make some memories over break!
SincerelyMelissa KlinePresident

- Labels for Education: You can help our school earn points which we can spend on items such as school supplies, gym/recess equipment, etc by saving any marked boxes from participating products. You can bring in these labels any time during the school year and give them to your teacher or put them in the bin in the front office. You can also earn points by registering your shopping cards (QFC, Fred Meyer, Safeway) online at http://www.elabelsforeducation.com/Sites/Campbells_eLabels/Page/HomePage.
